Aliases:

• 2_toes ↔ two_toes (2_toes is currently aliased to two_toes)
• 3_toes ↔ three_toes
• 4_toes ↔ four_toes
• 5_toes ↔ five_toes

• 2_fingers ↔ two_fingers
• 3_fingers ↔ three_fingers
• 4_fingers ↔ four_fingers (four_fingers is currently aliased to 4_fingers)
• 5_fingers ↔ five_fingers

Implications:

Depending on what was chosen above, either…

• two_toes, three_toes, four_toes, five_toes → toes
• two_fingers, three_fingers, four_fingers, five_fingers → fingers

…or…

• 2_toes, 3_toes, 4_toes, 5_toes → toes
• 2_fingers, 3_fingers, 4_fingers, 5_fingers → fingers

Note: 5_toes currently implies toes.

So... did it fall through? Last reply was from three months ago, and the situation with these tags never changed.

From how the thread went, it was a deadlock. So nothing was changed.

I still prefer the numbers though

Which ever way it goes, it needs to be one way the whole way or the other.
Both two_toes and four_fingers need to be 2_toes and 4_fingers or vice versa, we can't have one as numeric and one not.

Yeah...
That's how many of the tag discussions end: without clear consensus. There's a lot of tags that I personally avoid using, simply because nobody was sure about the proper usage.

But anyway, the counts: I prefer the numbers. Because of the reasons that were already mentioned in the old thread, and also because those are less messy. Tags are sorted alphabetically, so using numerals keeps those grouped together.

+1 for numerals, as before.

Ease of use > correctness.

My thoughts exactly.
